#1 Sergio Aguero – Manchester City vs QPR, 2012

Premier League history's finest moment remains the Sergio Aguero winner against Queens Park Rangers in May 2012 – that is unless you're a Manchester United fan.

City had overcome an eight-point deficit with just six games remaining – at the expense of United. As City went into the match with QPR, a victory would see them claim the Premier League title on goal difference ahead of their bitter rivals.

Roberto Mancini's side had beaten United along the way, and the showdown for City's first domestic league title in 44 years was set.

As expected, City took a half-time lead before amazingly finding themselves 1-2 down with just moments remaining. Edin Dzeko scored an equaliser with 80 seconds left on the clock.

One final attack gave City fans some hope. With Mario Balotelli in possession, he somehow managed to scoop the ball into the path of Aguero who fired home with seconds remaining to give City their much-craved league title.

The loudest noise ever witnessed at a league stadium followed as described by Martin Tyler afterwards. And you'd be a fool to deny that when you look at the scenes that occurred as a result.
